Research Problem
Review each of the various approaches to understanding the historical evolution of economic society. Select one approach and then find a movie or documentary that showcases or is set in one of the timeframes in the historical model. You should carefully watch the movie or documentary and take notes. Pay particular attention to how the story in the movie or documentary depicts how people lived, the economic challenges they faced, and the relation between social classes that ruled their lives.
Using your selected movie or documentary, describing what your life would be like if you had personally lived in the historical era depicted in the story. Describe as best you can how your life would relate to everything you have learned about economics so far in this course. This can include scarcity, tradeoffs, what-how-for whom to produce, tradition-command-markets, mode of production (communal-slavery-serfdom-wage labor), and how would your life be affected by the distinction of social classes (king-slave, lord-serf, employer-laborer, etc.). Also include how life was different for men and women.
The response should include a reference list. Using double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
